` `Jason To all whom z'tmay concern; Be it known that I, JASON W.

the slot for the strap.

The construction of the eccentric, eccentric strap, coiled spring, andbinder are plainly exhibited in Fig. 2; the spring and strap areconnected at a in that ligure. The eccentric E is grooved (as in Fig. 3)to retain the strap in its place, and at the same `time allow the springand strap to remain ward the spring, the reach is shortened, andthereverse is effected by moving it from the spring.
